Quintin Dailey "Q"

Today I learned the news that one of my favorite referees to argue with during the heat of battle when I'm coaching the kids during basketball league games, has passed away. For this I am very saddened, this man was a kind and very friendly guy that would not take any ones crap. I just recently had the pleasure of being warned before the game in his deep yet firm and friendly voice " Look I have had a bad day and I'm not in the mood for any of your B.S., so let me ref and I'll let you coach!" Now this man standing 6'3" about 2 close to 300 pounds walking up the court making calls from the other side of the court and wouldn't hesitate to tell you he missed that one has left a mark on my basketball heart forever. Through all that you would never know that this man was a 10yr N.B.A. vet who played alongside of Micheal Jordan and also Gary Payton and yes he was a roll player but look at the type of roll player he was!
